Candidates should have given the following responses:
(a) - shape is the delineation of an object.
- shape is defined by real or imaginary line.
- shape is two-dimensional.
- shape lacks volume.
- form is the real appearance of an object.
- form has weight and occupies space.
- form is three-dimensional.
- form combines shape and volume/mass.
(b) - they are both elements of art.
- form cannot exist without shape.
- shape defines the outline of a form.
- the creation of a form begins with a definition of its shape.
